Self-help, vehicle care195
Check diesel fuel filter at shorter intervals if
the vehicle is subjected to extreme
operating conditions such as high humidity
(primarily in coastal areas), extremely high
or low outside temperatures and
substantially varying daytime and night-
time temperatures.
If there is water in the diesel fuel filter,
control indicator
N illuminates in the
instrument panel - see page 73. Drain the
water immediately.
Coolant
During operation, the system is
pressurized. The temperature may
therefore rise to over 100 °C.
The antifreeze provides excellent corrosion
protection for the cooling and heating
system, as well as freeze protection down
to -28 °C.
Certain types of antifreeze can lead to
engine damage. We therefore strongly
recommend the use of antifreeze that has
been approved by Opel.
Antifreeze and corrosion protection
Before the start of the cold weather season,
have the coolant checked for correct
concentration by a workshop. The amount
of antifreeze must provide protection down
to approx. –28 °C. If the antifreeze
concentration is too low, this reduces
protection from fr eezing and corrosion.
Top up antifreeze if necessary.
If coolant loss is topped up with
demineralised water, have antifreeze
concentration checked and more
antifreeze added as necessary. Coolant level
Hardly any losses occur since the cooling
system is sealed and it is thus rarely
necessary to top up the coolant.
The coolant level in the expansion tank
should be between the
MIN and MAX
marks when the system is cold.
9 Warning
Antifreeze is a danger to health: it must
therefore be kept in the original container
and out of the reach of children.

Service, maintenance213
Additional servicing
Additional operations ⊕
Additional work is work that is not required
every service but can be performed in
conjunction with a regular service.
Time allowances for such work are not
included in the scope of regular services
and will be charged for additionally. It is
more economic if these operations are
performed as part of a scheduled service
than having them performed separately.
Severe operating conditions o
Operating conditions are classified as
severe when one or more of the following
occurs frequently:
z cold starts,
z stop and go,
z trailer/caravan towing,
z gradients and/or high altitudes,
z poor road surfaces,
z sand and dust,
z extreme temperature fluctuations.
Police vehicles, taxis and driving school
vehicles are also cla ssified as operating
under severe conditions.
Under severe operating conditions, it may
be necessary to have certain scheduled
service work done more frequently than the
scheduled intervals.
For example, if fuel is used that does not
comply with required standards, the fuel
filter may need more frequent draining or
replacement and it may also be necessary
to change other components more often
(e.g. spark plugs). It is recommended to seek technical advice
on the servicing requirements dependent
on the specific operating conditions of your
vehicle.
Recommended fluids and
lubricants
Only use products that have been tested
and approved. Damage resulting from the
use of non-approved materials will not be
covered by the warranty.
Checking and topping up fluids
see page 191.
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality and
also its viscosity. Quality is more important
than viscosity when selecting which engine
oil to use.
Engine oil quality
European specifications
Opel engine oil m
eets classifications
GM-LL-A-025 and GM-LL-B-025 and is
therefore suitable for both petrol and
diesel engines.
International specifications
The above specification is valid only if the
service interval is reduced to that shown for
the international service schedule -
see pages 209 to 212.
Topping up engine oil
Oils of different manufacturers and brands
can be mixed as long as you comply with
the specified engine oil criteria (quality and
viscosity).
9 Warning
Operating materials are hazardous and
must be handled with the appropriate
level of care. If consumed, seek medical
attention immediatel y. Do not inhale
fumes and avoid skin contact. Keep out
of reach of children. Do not allow
operating materials to contaminate the
sewage system, surface water, ground
water or soil. Dispose of empty containers
properly. Always bear in mind that
operating materials are hazardous to
your health.

Technical data219
Fuel consumption, CO
2emissions
Directive 80/1268/EEC (last changed
by 2004/3/EG) has applied for the
measurement of fuel consumption
since 1996. The directive is oriented to actual driving
practices: Urban driving is rated at
approx.1/3 and extra-urban driving with
approx. 2/3 (urban and extra-urban
consumption). Cold starts and acceleration
phases are also taken into consideration.
The specification of CO
2 emission is also a
constituent of the directive. The figures given must not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel consumption
of a particular vehicle.
All values are based on the EU base
model with standard equipment.
The calculation of fuel consumption as
specified by directive 2004/3/EG takes
account of the vehicle’s kerb weight,
ascertained in accordance with these
regulations. Optional extras may result
in slightly higher fuel consumption
and CO
2emission levels than those
quoted.
To convert l/100 km into mpg, divide 282
by number of litres/100 km.
Save fuel, protect the environment –
